I have a lower back pain due to working long hours at my desk. What should I do?

Your core muscles are weak from sitting posture. Walking, crunches, pool time.. You get the idea . I don't recommend belts or straps they just take away even more muscle tone. The only item i would recommend at your desk would be standing, stretching and trading chair for balance ball. Trade off/on for chair when starting.

In brief:
Low back pain

The best treatment are things you can do away from your desk.

Using a good lumbar support will cause your pelvis to shift forward reducing the stress on the lumbar discs. You will also want to get up and walk aroung every 30 minutes.
